Unexpected relationships between bacteriophage lambda hypothetical proteins and bacteriophage T4 tail-fiber proteins

Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1983 Sep 30;115(3):1061-8. doi: 10.1016/s0006-291x(83)80043-6.

Abstract

Hypothetical lambda protein ORF314 shows significant homology with the carboxyl end of phage T4 tail-fiber protein gp37. Homology can also be demonstrated between hypothetical lambda protein ORF194 and a fragment of bacteriophage T4 protein gp38. This sequence homology is also reflected in the genomic sequences of these two phages.
